2 Introduction Nexans is one of the largest wire and cable manufacturers in the world, and in North America. In North America we manufacture in locations across the United States and Canada. We design and produce a wide range of cables used in power, industrial, construction and communication applications. With more than nine decades of experience as a leader in the industrial and power cable markets, Nexans is contracted by heavy industry and utilities world wide to provide turnkey solutions for the bulk transmission of power from generating station through the distribution system to commercial and residential areas. This catalogue has been prepared for the convenience of those using electrical conductors in industrial applications. It presents the important data pertaining to the various types of wires and cables in readily obtainable form. We believe that the information included in the many tabulations will be of particular value to the architect, engineer, electrician, and layperson alike. Although we have listed herein the types of wires and cables suitable for most conditions, we are equipped to manufacture other types to suit special needs. We would be pleased to recommend the most suitable construction for any special condition that you may encounter. The determination of the correct cable size and type, and the selection of methods of installation suitable for the type and location of particular circuits, should be made in accordance with local regulations. Any questions in this respect should be directed primarily to the local Electrical Inspection Authority. 2

3 Applications Corflex cables may be found in a variety of industrial, commercial and utility applications. Chemical, oil and gas, and forestry industries, plus commercial or high-rise buildings are areas in which Corflex has gained acceptance. Exceptional fire ratings (as per appropriate specifications), impactresistance, flexibility and an impervious metallic sheath are key components of this design. Corflex installation may be in wet or dry locations, in trays, troughs, wireways, directly buried or embedded in concrete. As well, it can be used in plenums (with no outer coverings), ducts and other airways per NEC The 300 volt Corflex PL cables can be installed in Class I, II, III & intrinsically safe locations & Division 2 as per NEC (ITC Rated). Corflex PL cables are suitable for control, signal, and instrumentation circuits with 300 volt rating. The cable construction minimizes noise and signal interference to enhance performance in instrumentation, dataflow, computer & datalogging applications especially in areas where high voltages or high currents are present. The 600 volt and higher Corflex cables can be installed in hazardous locations designated Class I, II & III and Divisions 1 & 2 as per NEC (HL Rated). Corflex MC cables are designed for use on power and control circuits with 600 volt rating. Cables are suitable for use as feeders and branch circuits for power, control, lighting and signalling as per Articles 330 & 725 of NEC. Corflex MV cables are designed for power circuits with a 5000 volt or higher rating. Cables are a suitable alternative to cable in conduit systems. Corflex VFD cables are designed to improve the operating performance of variable frequency drive systems. Corflex VFD provides excellent shielding from high frequency noise that can interfere with data and control signals. One of the advantages of the Nexans Corflex sheath compared to other constructions is that cable sheath provides a long term low resistance path to ground to protect the drive system. The cable grounds provide the best cancellation and lowest net injected ground current into the drive system, protecting against common mode currents, which impair the drive unit electronic performance and shorten the drive s life span. Cable grounds also ensure a balanced, low resistance path to ground to reduce the chance of motor failure due to bearing currents. 3
